Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with respect to land; Quad City 
International Airport, Moline, Illinois.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is considering a proposal to change a 3.03-acre 
portion of Parcel AA of airport land from aeronautical use to non-
aeronautical use (for lease), located at Quad City International 
Airport, Moline, Illinois.
    The subject 3.03-acre portion of Parcel AA (10.84 total acres) is 
located in the north quadrant of the airport along Airport Drive and 
currently not being used directly for aeronautical purposes other than 
for the protection of FAR Part 77 surfaces and compatible land use. The
